The war is well under way.

We are entering into the last couple of generations of consoles, and the producers of those will milk them for all they are worth.

Ultimatly consoles have no future, as specialized gaming gear is integrated into the centralized home PC.

Already the gap in graphics is closed. Even ten years ago the PC couldn't even approach consoles in graphic quality, now they not only approach, but in some ways exceed.

The Paradigm is shifting towards an integrated entertainment system, and the PC is the ONLY logical foundation. In 10 years the home PC will be the brains behind the TV (HD or better), digital dish, DVD, Video messaging, V-conference, and of course gaming.

Nintendo and Sony know this, and seek only the leverage the last dollars out of a market soon to disappear.

Even now, the only way to compete is to make consoles more like PC's, with monitor connectons, storage devices, and modems.
